After-school Hanako-kun Season 2 - Episode 6 Review

-

Episode 6 of After-school Hanako-kun delivers a hilariously entertaining installment, introducing fans to a fresh twist with the gender-bending antics of the "Summer Monster." It’s a lighthearted, fun-filled episode that plays around with the idea of what happens when some of our favorite characters swap genders—and it's just as chaotic as you'd expect!

Hanako-san’s Debut: Hanako-kun in a Skirt?

The episode kicks off with the introduction of the Summer Monster, and things get wild when Hanako-kun transforms into Hanako-san—yes, Hanako as a girl! Seeing Hanako-san for the first time is a real treat, and the transformation is more than just physical. The episode leans into the comedy of Hanako trying to live out the “girl experience,” albeit in the most Hanako way possible. From his attempts to act cute to trying to seduce Kou, it’s all laugh-out-loud funny.

Hanako-san, with her skirt and makeover, turns out to be quite stylish! It’s fun watching Nene try to steer Hanako-san away from his mischievous ways and engage in more wholesome girly activities like fashion shows and makeovers. The contrast between Hanako’s usual personality and his gender-swapped antics keeps the humor flowing throughout the episode.

Martial Artist Mokke and Dr. Mokke: Supporting the Chaos

One of the standout moments in the episode was the appearance of Martial Artist Mokke and Dr. Mokke! These recurring side characters provide some comedic relief and manage to enhance the ridiculousness of the situation. Seeing Mokke characters participating in Hanako-san’s transformation journey adds a layer of absurdity that fans of the show will appreciate.

Kou’s Purity and the Gender-Swap Hijinks

Perhaps the funniest part of the episode was Kou’s reaction to Hanako-san. Despite Hanako-san’s best efforts to seduce Kou, Kou remains completely unfazed, thinking that Hanako-san is simply Hanako’s older sister. This innocence makes for some genuinely funny moments, especially when compared to Hanako-san’s flustered attempts to get a reaction out of him. Kou’s pure-hearted nature makes him immune to Hanako-san’s antics, adding another layer of comedy to the situation.

Tsukasa’s Chaos Continues with Gender-Swapped Sakura

Of course, we couldn’t forget Tsukasa’s involvement, as he steps in to make things even crazier by gender-swapping Sakura into a guy! What’s interesting here is how Sakura, now as a male, is completely unfazed. She’s just as confident and attractive in either form, which throws Natsuhiko into a spiral of confusion. His feelings for Sakura remain the same, and while he admirably accepts her male form, the situation makes him self-conscious, adding a touch of sweetness to the episode’s humor.

Mitsuba: Always the Same

Fans of Mitsuba will be amused by the fact that even after the gender swap, Mitsuba remains pretty much the same. His femboy charm persists, and while his voice gets a slight tweak, his overall personality stays consistent. It’s a fun nod to how some characters just remain true to themselves, no matter the situation.

Final Thoughts: A Fun, Lighthearted Episode

Episode 6 of After-school Hanako-kun is a refreshing, humorous break from the usual ghostly mischief. The gender-bending plotline offers plenty of laughs and gives the characters a chance to show off their more playful sides. Hanako-san’s debut is unforgettable, and the chemistry between the cast—whether they’re gender-swapped or not—keeps the episode fun and engaging.

While the episode doesn’t dive deep into the show’s overarching storylines, it’s a great standalone installment that provides plenty of comedy and character moments. It’s episodes like this that remind us why After-school Hanako-kun is such a fan favorite, blending humor, the supernatural, and a quirky cast of characters perfectly.

Ao no Hako - Blue Box Episode 2 Review

-
It feels like déjà vu, but not in a good way. Blue Box, or Ao no Hako , has stumbled into distribution hell, much like Shikanoko Nokotan . Episode 2 has been released in Japan with multilingual subs, yet the rest of the world only has Episode 1 on Netflix. This Netflix JP early release is causing chaos for international fans, and to top it off, some groups have already posted torrents with subs. The frustration is palpable. Episode 1 created solid momentum for the series, but now that energy is at risk of being snuffed out due to this staggered release schedule. We’ve seen it before — when Netflix rolls out episodes inconsistently, international fans often turn to piracy or find themselves out of sync with the discussion. The mods need to step in before things spiral out of control, but so far, the subreddit has remained stuck to its “subs are up, post the thread” policy, which doesn’t help when most of the world’s asleep or can’t access the episode legally. Production Quality Still Ho...

The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest – Episode 1 Review

-
The premiere episode of The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest leans heavily into the familiar tropes of fantasy anime, without adding much flair or excitement. The plot starts with the expected premise: a healer, exiled from his party, harbors secret strength beyond what anyone could imagine. The generic setup is effortlessly predictable, leaving viewers wondering if this show will rise above its bland beginnings. The Plot: Predictably Generic The episode introduces us to Laust, a healer who finds himself unceremoniously ousted from his party. The narrative is immediately bogged down by lackluster storytelling, offering only a superficial explanation for his dismissal. Viewers are left scratching their heads as the reasons for his exile remain frustratingly vague, almost as if the show is intentionally hiding crucial information to set up a reveal in future episodes. Yet, the buildup is executed in such a dull manner that any intrigue is lost amidst th...
